193-5: ENGLAND WIN BY FIVE WICKETS!Bell ends with a flourish by flicking Samuels through wide long-on for four. His 63no and Cook's lovely 79 carried England to what, in the end, was a comfortable victory. The dismissals of Trott and Pietersen this morning (both for 13) had a few hearts fluttering, but the 132-run stand between Cook and Bell settled any nerves. What had appeared a potential nerve-jangler before start of play actually became a commanding win. A run rate of 5.10 shows the fluency with which this chase was achieved. England take a 1-0 lead ahead of the second Test at Trent Bridge on Friday.

189-5: Review! Bairstow is struck on the pad as he drives straight at Sammy, the ball nipping inside his bat. When Aleem Dar says no, the West Indies have to review it. He was a long way down the track, it looks a little high and Hot Spot shows an inside edge. Not a lot going for it really. Bairstow makes it to the end of the over, and England still need two more runs.

189-5: COOK'S OUT! What a shame. With England just two runs short, Cook - whose 79 from 127 balls has ushered England to the brink - is caught low down at gully by Edwards off Sammy. Bairstow comes out to join his fellow ginger Bell. Nice opportunity for the debutant to hit the winning runs here...

188-4: Samuels tees up Cook for his favourite shot with a load of old filth outside off and, in this sort of mood, Cook (79no) is hardly going to turn it down. Off it goes to the rope at deep backward point. Three more runs needed...

180-4: A hard cut for two, then a caressed single into the off side for Cook. He and Bell have really done this in style, scoring briskly but sensibly. for the Windies, it's a reprise of the recent Australia series - fighting hard to establish a decent position, but letting it slip from their grasp.

176-4: The Windies get their first sniff of a glimpse of a glimmer of a chance. Cook late-cut Samuels past Sammy at slip, whose dive is more for the cameras than any real attempt at a catch. The ball trundles away for four and England need just 15 more.

170-4: And on they go, strolling to victory like an old couple in matching jumpers meandering along the prom. Bell (55) nudges Roach to fine leg for four more.

165-4: FIFTY FOR BELL! Brought up in regal fashion with a skip-and-slap back over the bowler's head for four, then a back-foot scythe through backward point for two. Bell's half-century comes from 84 balls, with just three fours.

157-4: Up comes the hundred partnership from 146 balls. No boundaries since lunch but who needs to hit the rope when you can simply trot between the wickets? No pressure being applied at all.

150-4: The 150 is up for the hosts and they have just 41 to go for a 1-0 lead in this three-Test series. The partnership is 93. The West Indies are virtually mute out there.

146-4: Cook (60) and Bell (41) ticking down the runs with singles and the odd two. England are coasting here. The sting has been drawn from the Windies attack. The ferocity we saw last night and first thing this morning is distinctly absent.

136-4: If it was a surprise to see Samuels bowling, it's entirely expected that Kemar Roach returns now for a second spell. He was the most threatening, yet also most expensive, Windies bowler this morning. Just two runs from his opening over.

131-4: So, England need just 60 more. It's going to take something pretty spectacular for them to lose this from here. Gulp. West Indies need wickets, so quite why Marlon Samuels is bowling the first over after lunch is a question to which only Darren Sammy knows the answer...

LUNCH - England 131-4:Cook (53) and Bell (34) have retrieved what was a very dicey situation after the exits of Trott and Pietersen (both for 13). Once the effective but expensive Roach came out of the attack, and the new ball softened, the Windies' threat ebbed away. England are only 60 runs short of victory now and will surely get them after the lunch break. Stick around.

130-4: FIFTY FOR COOK! Well played, sir. Offered barely any width by this Sammy delivery, he still manages to chop it away for his eighth four to bring up his 50 from 78 balls. England have scored very briskly this morning, just under five an over. Cook's unflappability is just what was required.

123-4: Meat and drink for Cook. Too leg-side and short from Sammy, giving Cook plenty of time to rock back and smash a pull shot through midwicket for four. He's on 47 and, with five minutes until lunch, England are looking good.

113-4: So close! With Sammy and Samuels at either end, the Windies are as threatening as an old lettuce, until this! Bell goes back and fishes outside off, inside-edging *this far* past his leg stump. He gets a flukey four for his troubles.

109-4: Samuels floats down a few offies with under 20 minutes to go until lunch. His last ball is scythed away to the third man fence by Bell for only his second boundary. That brings up the 50 partnership.

100-4: Up comes the England hundred. Cook tickles three through midwicket, then a Bell single brings up the landmark. The ball's gone soft and it's looking a lot rosier for the hosts than it was an hour ago. Edwards comes back on.

94-4: The target is under 100 now as Cook (32) drives an over-pitched ball from Gabriel down the ground for four. England are cashing in here with Edwards and Roach having a breather. The odds are changing with every over. Bell has 18.

86-4: Cook pushes to deep cover and set off, but when he tries to turn for a quick second run he collides with Sammy. Both players collapse to the ground like a wobbly bride on a 'You've Been Framed' video. Sammy's wincing but they shakes hands and get on with the game.

81-4: Bell gives a Gabriel full toss the treatment it deserves and the rest of the over is played in one-day mode, a few singles and a two. Nine off it. This run rate will be to Darren Sammy's increasing concern.

70-4: Drinks. Cook pulls Gabriel for four to reach 22. Well, it was said before the start that the first hour would be crucial. Like the last two days, it's gone West Indies' way. I'd still make England slight favourites given that they don't really have a tail, but we have a game on our hands, don't worry your pretty heads about that.

65-4: Eight come off this over from Roach as Bell drives with his usual grace for three through the covers, then Cook (18 off 43) is dished one up in his favourite area - enough width to lacerate a cut away past backward point for the inevitable boundary. England scoring at a healthy lick but that wickets column is keeping everyone's knees a-knocking.

57-4: OOH DEARY ME! PIETERSEN OUT!KP clearly wants to give the new bowler some treatment and, having cracked his previous delivery for four, goes for a similar shot next ball. Perhaps it doesn't bounce as much as KP expects, because he tries to heave it through the leg side and gets a very thin bottom edge through to Ramdin for 13. England in real danger of cocking this up now. Here's Bell.

57-3: A single prodded to cover from KP brings up the 50. Then, a bowling change as Gabriel replaces Edwards. Pietersen likes the look of him and hoiks a short ball through midwicket for four.

49-3: Over-pitched by Roach and it's perfectly in the slot for Cook (12 from 35) to biff it straight down the ground for four. The next ball is another no-ball - that's three from Roach this morning. Not pretty in a tight run chase.

40-3: Edwards wobbles two deliveries past Pietersen's outside edge as he pokes at them in rather slapdash fashion. Cook thick-edges the first ball of Roach's next over (a no-ball) past third slip, all along the ground, for four. It's curious atmosphere - incredibly tense in the middle, but barely anyone there to witness it.

29-3: WICKET!! West Indies are absolutely cock-a-hoop with this one! Trott's gone, pushing firmly at Roach outside off but edging to Sammy at second slip. The Windies skipper takes a superb finger-stinging catch low to his left. Super delivery by Roach, that just held its line despite going up the slope. Trott goes for 13. Here's KP, who tends to like this sort of situation.

25-2: Big shout from Edwards! It's coming at Trott from over the wicket, he plays across the line, but is done for pace, misses and is struck on the pad. Umpire Erasmus' view that it was probably missing leg is confirmed by HawkEye. Not by much, mind you. Trott celebrates his reprieve by whipping away four runs through square leg two balls later.

19-2: Great start from Roach, whistling a *very* quick one across Cook from over the wicket and past his outside edge. It thuds into Ramdin's gloves. Edwards hasn't quite found his radar, dishing up a wide one for Trott to smack away past cover for four.

15-2: A wild leg-side delivery from Edwards whistles past Ramdin's dive and away for four byes. Cook adds a single, dabbed away to leg. Roach, unsurprisingly, will operate from the other end.

1100 - Eng 10-2: The players are out at a dispiritingly deserted Lord's. It's only a tenner to get (and a fiver if you're very young or very old), so if you're near St John's Wood, get down there! Edwards will open the bowling. One feels if Cook and Trott get through the first hour, England will probably be ok. We'll soon see...

Morning all. This should be fun, shouldn't it? A tantalising run chase for England against a fast bowling pair of Kemar Roach and Fidel Edwards that, if you squint a little, rolls back the years to the fearsome Caribbean attack of the 1980s.

The fluency of Marlon Samuels (87) and the obdurate resistance of Shiv Chanderpaul has set up this chance for the tourists, who need eight more wickets. England, resuming on 10-2, require 191 to take a 1-0 lead in the three-Test series.

England, with such a deep batting line-up that Swann is down at No.11, are favourites. But memories of their miserable effort at chasing down 140 against Pakistan (77 all out) are still fresh. The first hour will be crucial for Alastair Cook and Jonathon Trott to negotiate, so if you're at work why not follow a potentially thrilling final day with us from 1100?
